Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
When I was [G]just a girl,
I can remember
[Bm]Singing with my [B]dad in [Bm]late
December
[C]We'd walk around the block,
at every house we'd stop
Sharing [Am]peace on [C]earth,
good[D]will [G]to man[D]

[Verse 2]
The [G]last stop was in front
of our own door
[Bm]Standing on the porch,
I'd asked him for one more
[C]Dad would stand outside on
the sidewalk by the light
With [Am]a special [C]Christmas [D]gift to me

[Verse 3]
[A]Daddy sang to [D]me his favorite
carol ([A]favorite carol)[D][A]
Of the [D]baby boy and just what Christmas means
[E](wh[C#]at Christmas means)
[F#m]He sang of how his [D]life had
been [A]chan[D]ging[A]
With [D]every single day that
he [E]be lieved
That's [G]what my [D]father did
on Christmas [A]Eve

[Verse 4]
Now we would [Em]bundle up,
walking side by side
[D]There won't be a joy daddy
couldn't hide
[C]The Christmas hope within
from the baby born again
Is the gift my father [D]gave tonight

[Verse 5]
[A]Daddy sang to [D]me his favorite
carol ([A]favorite carol)[D][A]
Of the [D]baby boy and just what Christmas [F#m]means
[E](wh[C#]at Christmas means)
[F#m]He sang of how his [D]life
had been [A]changing
[D]Wit[A]h every [D]single day
that he [E]be lieved
That's what [Em]my f[G]ather di[D]d
on Christmas [A]Eve[D][A]

[Verse 6]
[F#m]Many question t[Bm]he tr[B]ue story
[F#m]Let us tell them of[Bm] His [B]glory and
[C#]Spreading His goodwill to all
[F#]Shout[E]ing out this joy[F#]ful
thought
[E][F#][F#sus4]

[Verse 7]
[B]Let's share with [E]the world our favorite
[B]carol (our favor[E]ite [B]carol)
Of the [E]baby boy and just what [G#m]Christmas
[F#]means (what Christ[G#m]mas means)
Let's sing of how [E]our lives have
been [B]changing[E][B]
With [E]every single day that we believe
[F#](that we be li[A]eve)
What our father [E]did on
[B]Christmas [G#m]Eve
